Today I have been officially been here 3 years.

I remember it well.

I was almost peeing my pants trying to get so I could post something.

The rest is history or a even mystery.Thanks Ken

This is the best I can do right now with something humerous.

Thanks Ice,I spent some time today thinking about where I would be in my life without registering to FTE.

It was Drab ,much like watching paint dry.

Except the part where I damaged the crankshaft on my $800.00 Lawn Mower.

That list ("It takes years to learn these truths") is nothing short of hilarious. Probably because every one of them is so true.

What does NOT take years to learn is your contributin to this site- it's obvious and immediate to every new member that arrives here. You've always been a big help to me, and mere words can't express my gratitude. But maybe a few dealer front plate inserts will. Congratulations, my friend- here's to many more years for all of us here.

You talking about me? Or did you forget me?

Dennis, you are a great guy and you do a great job on here. What would we do without you? Oh yeah, have about 100 posts a day about General Automotive in the General discussion forum! Keep up the good work!

-Matt

P.S. On you list: #1 is the best! HAHA!

I can't believe I missed this one. Congrats and a big thank you for this great place. Number 16 really made me think... It is oh so true. I never thought that before.
